A man assaulted women in Rock Creek Park twice this summer, U.S. Park Police said.
The assaults took place on a hiking trail south of Piney Branch Parkway NW about 3 p.m. Aug. 4 and 7:40 a.m. Sept. 9.
In one incident, the man grabbed a jogger’s behind, police said.
Police believe the man may have a campsite in the area of the Valley and Meadowlink trails.
“Well I grew up around the park, so it does make me think of the 2000 Chandra Levy incident, so it does make me a little concerned,” runner Shannon O’Reilly said.
Levy, a 24-year-old California native, was living in Northwest D.C. when she vanished May 1, 2001. Her disappearance made national headlines after she was romantically linked to then-U.S. Rep. Gary Condit, also from California. Her remains were found in Rock Creek Park a year after her disappearance.
